Exclusion penalty calculator
Estimate the most OIG may seek when items or services were furnished by a person on the LEIE: the per-item civil monetary penalty, the assessment, and the amount to repay.
Enter what you know about the engagement. The result is the legal maximum, not what OIG would ask for in a given case: OIG weighs the facts, and organizations that self-disclose generally resolve for less.
- Civil monetary penalty (up to $25,595 per item, 2025)
- $307,140
- Assessment (up to 3 times the amount claimed, or the cost of the person)
- $5,400
- Overpayment to report and return
- $1,800
- Maximum penalty and assessment
- $312,540
For each item or service furnished, ordered or prescribed by a person on the LEIE, OIG may impose a penalty of up to $20,000 under the regulation, adjusted for inflation every year. The 2025 adjusted figure is $25,595.
OIG may add an assessment of up to three times the amount claimed for each item or service. Where the person’s work is not billed separately, the assessment can be up to three times the total costs of employing or contracting with them.
Separately, payment for those items or services is generally an overpayment, which must be reported and returned within 60 days of being identified.
- Screening before working with someone and every month afterwards, so a listing is found in days rather than years.
- Acting quickly on a confirmed match: stopping the person’s involvement in program-funded work and seeking legal advice.
- Using OIG’s Self-Disclosure Protocol, under which settlements are generally lower than in a case OIG opens itself.
